SharePoint 2013 Workflows not working

Hi All,
I am currently attempting to get SharePoint 2013 workflows working, i have installed the workflow manager and linked it to SharePoint but when i run any 2013 workflow i get the following error:
RequestorId: 26c49394-eb06-737a-7fde-d5bbfe4f6505. Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 The remote server returned an

Its worth noting that 2010 workflow run without a problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that when you ran SharePoint 2013 workflow, an error occurred.
You can try to re-register the Workflow Service.
Here is
a link about how to configure workflow for SharePoint Server 2013, you can use as a reference:

Sharepoint 2013 Workflow not available on Site created from Sharepoint 2013 Foundation Solution Template

If I create a template on SharePoint 2013 Foundation, then create a site on SharePoint Enterprise (or Office/365) fully configured to support SharePoint 2013 workflows. When I access the site through SharePoint Designer 2013, and attempt to create a workflow
SharePoint 2013 Workflows are not available -- you get message that SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because it is not configured on the server. This appears to be a bug in SharePoint Designer as the 2013 Workflows are available on the team
site on the same site collection. There is no reason that a site created from a SharePoint 2013 foundation template should have this restriction.   To make matters worse if you then save that site as a template on the SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (or
Office/365) system and create a new site from the that template you get the same issue.
Anyone know a workaround/fix to this issue.   Have imported the template into Visual Studio but I can not find any way in Visual Studio to enable SharePoint 2013 workflows.   A solution that involves Visual Studio import would work fine
for me.

Apparently you did not read my question very carefully.   The workflow manager is configured properly on this server and for the basic Team site in this site collection the full SharePoint 2013 workflows are available in SharePoint Designer 2013.
BUT they are not available on another site in the SAME SITE COLLECTION that was created from a solution template that was created on a SharePoint Foundation server.

SPD 2013 Workflow not working

Hello,
I'm running into a very interesting issue, we have a 2013 custom list that has some 2010 and 2013 workflows associated with it. Just until recently the workflows were working fine, but now only 2010 workflows are working.
I updated one of the 2013, tried to publish it but then I canceled the process of publishing it because I had to make a new update.... not sure if this flipped the switch on these but now even if I create new ones in SPD they will not run. Also if
I try to run in manually I get a message - "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow"(the option for start manually is enabled in SPD 2013). Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ghabib05,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you ran a SharePoint 2013 workflow.
Afer you made some change in your workflow, whether you re-published the workflow. if not, please publish it, then test again, compare the result.
Please create a new SharePoint 2013 workflow on the list, then test, compare the result.
If this issue only occurred on the specifical workflow, I suggest you create a new workflow instead of the problematic one.
If this issue occurred on all SharePoint 2013 workflow, you can try to re-register workflow service.

2013 Workflow not working for tenant admin

Hi
I've been struggling with an issue developing a site for a client. They have their own SharePoint 2013 tenancy, which we can manage as a partner. I can log in to the site with my own company account linked to Office 365, and can do everything I need to in
terms of site administration.
However, I've run into a problem whereby although I can create and publish SharePoint 2013 workflows, I cannot run them successfully. If there is anything in the workflow such as writing to the history list, the workflow hangs with the status "Started"
and "Activity in progress" (no error message).
I've got around the problem by testing the workflow as a user from our client's tenancy, but I'm curious as to why my user doesn't work for this. It works fine for everything else, including SharePoint 2010 workflows. Is there some permission somewhere that
needs to be set, or is this by design?
Duncan

Hi Ganesh,
Based on your description, I recommend you verify the things below:
Check if the SharePoint search service account is added in the Windows Authorization Access Group in Active Directory.
Check if the non-admin users have permission to view the results searched.
Check if the inline search can work in lists’ pages or libraries’ pages.
Best regards.
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Not Updating on Deployment

Developing a 2013 Workflow on SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2012, deploying workflow changes does not update the workflow that runs. This has already been posted on the SP 2013 dev forum, but I wanted to check here with the workflow folks. Anyone run
into this issue before and/or have tips for solving?
Thanks.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/cd543a00-f3ab-4a4a-8682-b81d8330b677
http://blog.randomdust.com

This issue is reported and I'll post about it once I have an update. For now to workaround this issue, you can try these steps
Change the default deployment option to “No Activation”
Retract the solution using Visual Studio
Deploy the solution. This time feature will not be activated by default as we have changed to “No Activation”
Open the SharePoint designer and click on the “Workflow” section. You will see your workflow already present there. Delete the workflow which you have created.
Activate the feature manually.
Now you should see your updated version.

Hi cagman,
Please make sure Search Host Controller Service, Search Query and Site Settings Service, SharePoint Server Search are started on manange services on server.
Then check the Search service application, and make sure search application topology is ok.
Then reset Index, and run a full crawl. After crawling, search again, compare the result.

Sharepoint 2013 "Variations" not working

I created a publishing site on Sharepoint online. I have left the "Variation Settings" as it is , i.e. default. I created source and target label and created hierachy. Source Label is english and target is french. After they got created by
the timer job, I created a document library in the source and added text file with some content in english. On the home page of source, I added some text ,clicked on variations and gave update all targets.
1. But after the timer job ran, I went to the french site and the content had come in english,so I published it and clicked "Machine Translate", I got an email that the job was complete, but when I went to the site, the content was still in english.
Wasn't it supposed to be converted to french?
2. After the document got created in target label, I clicked on Machine Translate ->selected items, it's been 24 hrs and still the content is in english. Am i missing something in both the above scenarios?

Hi,
According to your description, the Variation Settings does not work after configuration.
Did you see the content in the root site URL ?
After you create variation hierarchy, the sub site for multi-language will be created.
For English language, the sub site URL will be like “http://www.contoso.com/en-us”.
For French language, the sub site URL will be like “http://www.contoso.com/fr-fr”.
I suggest you check the URL you visited and make sure it is right.

SharePoint Online workflow not starting

Hi All,
I am an administrator for a company and I have been asked to create a workflow for them.
I created 2 workflows using SharePoint designer 2013. The 2010 workflow works as expected.
I created the 2013 workflow because I can use loops. However the 2013 workflow doesn't automatically start when an item is created. but works if I start it manually. I have checked and made sure that the check box is ticked for the workflow to start automatically.
The workflows go like this.
Step: Query Type
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Phone
  Set Status to Opportunity
Else
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Email
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes
  If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
Step: Rental or Not
If Current Item:Rental equals Yes
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
  If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Else
  If Current Item:Rental equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
   Pause until Current Item:Date to Send Quote
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
And the 2013 one goes like this
Stage:Follow Up
Loop: Email to manager
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
If Current Item:Follow_Up equals Yes
  Set Status to Opportunity
Transition to stage
Go to Rental or Not
Stage:Rental or Not
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 2 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 7 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   and Current Item:Date to Send Quote is greater than Current Item:Date to Send Quote
    Email Current Item:Manager
Transition to stage
Go to End of Workflow
If this makes sense? If not can anybody give me advice on how to get this working the way it is expected to work?

Hi,
From your description, After you modified the workflow and added "App Step" to it and "Pause" actions apart from few other modifications, you got the issue that
SharePoint 2013 Workflow not starting when a new item is crated.
Whether you got the issue Before you modified the workflow.
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013 and it works fine.
I suggest you update SharePoint to the latest CU.

SharePoint 2013 workflow can not be completed

I use Visual studio 2013 to create an sharepoint 2013 workflow and just insert a single task into it. I fill the assignto property directly and the account does recieve the mail. Then I approve the created task but the workflow is still there and it can't
be completed after that. I have spend several days just try to make the workflow completed but I can't. Any clues?

Hi Kevin,
As I know, there's two properties for task - one is Status with values 'In Progress', 'Completed' etc. Another property is 'Task outcome' with values 'approved' and 'rejected'. Task created by SignleTask, wait for task completion which means status field
should have value 'Completed' and then workflow will consider the task as complete. In your case I'm not sure if you have set the task status as completed or not. If you set the task status to completed only then workflow will consider the task as completed.
However, in your case you can set the property 'WaitForTaskCompletion' to false and just after SignleTask you can use other activity like - wait for item event or wait for field change, to find out if the task out field is 'approved' or 'rejected'. You can
put the activity in a loop and in the loop you can wait till due date or until the task-outcome is approved/rejected.
Thanks,

Hi
XantosX5 ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint Server 2013 environment.
I create a lookup column in a list and create a workflow 2013 for the list. In the workflow, I add Send an email action. Then I display the lookup column in the body of the email as the below figure:
When I start the workflow, it works fine.
Have you installed
the workflow manager 1.0 cumulative update 1 ? It can be the point. If not, please install it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Sharepoint 2010 Workflow successful: Sharepoint 2013 Workflow UNsuccessful:

Observation 1
1. I created 2 workflows that write "completed" to the workflow history
a. 1 workflow uses sp2010 workflow manager
b. 1 workflow uses sp2013 workflow manager
2. sp2010 workflow works fine; it will start either manually or automatically (when a new item is created ) without issue; "completed' is written to the log as expected. Good.
3. sp2013 does not start automatically (when a new item is created ); when trying to start manually I get error message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow." Which I do, but still fails.
Bad.
4.On Workflows.aspx I can see the links to start the 2 workflows manually.
a. When I hover over the sp2010 workflow link I can see something that look like this:
http://playground/sites/falcontt/_layouts/15/IniWrkflIP.aspx?List={ae95de8e-508b-4aa6-b4b6-490288e35e9f}&ID=53&ItemGuid={697E4218-D889-4FB8-A27B-D188F5D93250}&TemplateID={199c3d86-89a8-4286-b285-37e2d2067b52}&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fplayground%2Fsites%2Ffalcontt%2FLists%2FTrouble%2520Tickets%2Fall%2520requests%2Easpx
b. But when I hover over the sp2013 workflow link I can see something that look like this:
javascript:StartWorkflow4('949cb889-9b46-4959-9673-842e60cc5a42', '53', '{697E4218-D889-4FB8-A27B-D188F5D93250}')
Should this link also look similar to the sp2010 workflow link? If so, do you have any idea why it is different?
Observation 2
In Sharepoint Designer 2013, when I goto Navigation -> Workflows and click on the 2010 workflow, I see a file listed under "Forms" that looks like this "sp2010 test workflow.xsn". By the way the name of the workflow happens
to be "sp2010 test workflow".
But when I goto Navigation -> Workflows and click on the 2013 workflow, I see a NO file listed under "Forms". Should I see "sp2013 test workflow.xsn" listed there? If yes, can you think of why it is not listed there?
I saved the workflow debug logs from Event Viewer but won't share that info here unless necessary, to avoid making things look more complicated than they have to be.
Thanks for any comments suggestions, tips, questions, anything, etc.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Hi George,
First of all, I'd like to clarify that workflow manager is dedicated for SharePoint 2013 workflow platform. SharePoint 2010 workflow is integrated in SharePoint server, while 2013 workflow is based on a new platform named workflow manager server.
In SharePoint 2013 designer, 2010 workflow has forms while 2013 workflow doesn't have forms.
For this issue, I suspect there is something incorrect with workflow manager. From the error message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow", please flush the DNS cache via executing
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS, and restart workflow manager related services such as below, then recreate 2013 workflow to test the issue:

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Calendar Entry Create Time AM PM Conflict

Windows 2012, SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
I have a change control form that basically creates a calendar entry once it's been approved. Works well, but discovered a bug with the calendar create portion when there are events that have the same time in AM\PM.
Use case:
1. Create a change control item in the list with a planned start time of 2PM, I'll approve it, which then fires off a workflow and it will create an event in the change control calendar for 2PM, all good.
2. Create another change control item in the list with a planned start time of 2AM this time, I'll approve it, which then fires off a workflow and it will create an event in the change control calendar for 2PM and not 2AM. ???
Yes the original event entry created in the list shows planned start time of 2AM, but its being created in the calendar entry as 2PM. This only happens when the time is exact. For example if I had created the second entry at 3PM, it will create the calendar
entry at 3PM. It only happens if there is an existing entry for the same time, then all subsequent entries for the same time will have the same AM\PM depending on the first entry.
I can manually create an entry in the calendar and specify 2PM and it will take, so its something with the workflow that is causing it. The workflow is very simple all its doing is checking the item to see if the field says approved for the change request
form if so, create calendar event and carry over the fields, planned start time, planned end time, title description, that's it.

Hi James,
In my test per your description, I cannot reproduce the issue, however, I attached the screenshot of my test for your reference, let me know if there is misunderstanding.
Please capture the screenshot of your workflow process design so I can try to reproduce or find out if there is action that may cause the issue.
In addition, could you please try to locate workflow error message? If there is obvious error information, please refer to the Activate Workflow Manager Logs part in the article below:

Custom SharePoint 2013 workflow activities in site template throw error on site creation

Hi all,
I have created a number of custom activities for SharePoint 2013 Workflows and I am using them on an Office 365 environment. The custom activities are packaged as a sandbox solution and deployed on my Office 365 site. Everything works as expected.
I have now created a site with all the functionality I need, including some Site and List workflows - all of them containing my custom activities. I saved the site as a template - including content - and the process was completed successfully.
My problem is that when I try to create a site based on that template, I get the following error:
Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityNotFoundException: The activity named 'WorkflowXaml_66b9230b_823e_4783_82b8_daf481237847' from scope '/spo/d42a4487-9465-4347-9f2c-a2718e92fc02/74d0f9e7-fb35-493d-86fb-ab7aa27da7e0/c2e1bf45-cf67-4e13-9755-421cf92395f8'
was not found. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: 0997496a-5a15-4b83-82eb-727881eefa67. NodeId: . Scope: . Client ActivityId : c82f6e9c-9f8f-808b-7679-f2c0f92a339d. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error
After a number of trials and errors, I am certain that this relates to my custom activities. i have already tested all of the following scenarios:
Delete the workflow with the custom actions: Site is created successfully.
Create a new workflow with no custom actions and save the site as a template:
Site is created successfully.
Save the site template including a workflow with my custom activities, but not including content:
Site is created successfully, but my workflow is not there.
Create a new custom workflow activities sandbox with one custom activity that just writes something to the history list - just to make sure that this is not related to any specific solution. Save the site as a template:
Site creation throws the same error.
Packaged my workflow (with my custom activities) as a wsp from SharePoint Designer and deployed it as a custom solution. Activated the feature in the target site. The workflow gets created and executing finally. Saved the site as template: Site
creation throws the same error.
Same as above, but without activating the feature in the target site: Site created successfully, workflow works fine after I activate the feature in the new site.
My custom activities feature is always enabled in the site I save as template - in all of the above scenarios.
I have tested all of the above scenarios both on SharePoint 2013 on-premise and Office 365. There is
a forum post regarding some inconsistencies in the wsp file, but unfortunately this is not my case. Am I doing something wrong? Are custom 2013 workflow activities not supported in site templates - which would not actually make any sense, as it would "break"
the fundamental concept of re-usability.
Any ideas/feedback/guidance?
Thanx in advance
